There is no efficient market of moral intervention. If fatal kidney disease doubled gradually over the next ten years, society would not double its efforts to artificially produce kidneys in response. We live in a sad unfortunate world where the connection between “size of ${problem}” and “resources spent solving ${problem}” is very weak. And even if we did live in such a world artificially inflating problems in order to get more funding allocated to them would be net-negative.
